Sponsor Information

On May 19, 2013, the Long Beach Museum of Art and its fundraising affiliate, Phoenix, will present Art Auction 15. We invite you to partner with us to present Art Auction, which draws hundreds of discriminating arts patrons from throughout the greater Los Angeles area to bid on works donated by some of the most sought-after artists working today.

Over 300 highly diverse, affluent, and sophisticated art lovers from Long Beach and the surrounding area will attend Art Auction 15 to bid on exceptional works of art by approximately 120 contemporary artists. The evening will include an open bar with tapas dining, a silent auction featuring dozens of high-end items, plus an exciting live auction of extraordinary artworks in a variety of price ranges.

Proceeds from this unique event will support the Museum’s high-quality educational programming that serves approximately 12,000 students, children, and families each year. These programs give children from every background an opportunity to experience world-class art exhibitions and to explore their own creativity through hands-on art-making workshops.

We invite you to partner with us as a sponsor at any level, and in appreciation of your generous support, we are pleased to offer an attractive array of benefits. Art Auction is a professionally-installed exhibition that will open to the public four weeks prior to the event. This expanded exhibition run will allow for maximum sponsorship visibility and acknowledgement. We appreciate your consideration and interest in supporting Art Auction 15 and the Long Beach Museum of Art.

Sincerely,

Ronald C. Nelson
